Tribology behavior during indentation and scratch of thin films on substrates: effects of plastic friction

When friction stress on a contact surface reaches material yield strength in shear, contact slippage can occur even if the slipping condition for Coulomb friction is not satisfied. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3-D) scratch model is proposed, which considers combined Coulomb and plastic fricti...
